Use your heater

Make sure you clear up the inside of your windscreen too - but make sure you start off on a cool breeze and slowly increase the temperature as it clears, otherwise you'll just be blasting warm wet air which will mist up your view.

Stay put

Don't leave your car to defrost on the drive while you grab your cornflakes - anyone could steal from your car, or even take the car itself.

It does happen!

Derbyshire Police say make sure you lock all windows and doors when leaving your vehicle unattended - even if it's only for a short amount of time.

Don't wipe inside

Another short term fix is giving the mist inside a quick wipe, but this could leave marks making it harder to see.
